Fight the monsters before 8 am

"Do you need me to rub your back?" Natsume Mika asked Sa Hemei.

"Hmm..." Zuo Hemei wanted to refuse subconsciously, but after thinking about it, she accepted Natsume Mika's kindness, "Then I'll trouble you, senior. Thank you very much."

"You're exaggerating. It's not a big deal. I might even need your help later."

Natsume Mika took the bath ball from Zuo Hemei's hand and gently rubbed it on Zuo Hemei's smooth back.

Feeling the perfect weight on her back, Zuo Hemei suddenly felt itchy inside.

This is so weird. Could it be that I have developed some strange hobby?

Zuo Hemei's cheeks felt hot. She looked up at the mirror and found that Natsume Mika was just wiping her back seriously.

This made Zuo Hemei feel relieved, but at the same time she couldn't help but blame herself for what she was thinking.

At this moment, Natsume Mika suddenly said, "Xiao Zuo, you are actually a time traveler, right?"

If it were under normal circumstances, Zuo Hemei might be able to pretend to be calm.

But the experiences of these days and the current environment made Zuo Hemei feel uneasy. Faced with Natsume Mika's "sudden attack", she was completely tense.

Natsume Mika, who was rubbing Zuo Hemei's back, also felt Zuo Hemei's nervousness. She touched Zuo Hemei's back where her muscles were tense, and suddenly remembered a sentence on the Internet: It would be a pity if she didn't get a cupping treatment on her back.

Natsume Mika raised her head and found Zuo Hemei in the mirror staring at her.

All these signs mixed together are enough to confirm Natsume Mika's guess that Sa Hemei is the time traveler.

"Don't be nervous, I don't mean any harm, in fact, I'm quite happy." Natsume Mika continued to rub Zuo Hemei's back, and at the same time said, "I am also a time traveler. I am so happy to meet someone like me in this strange place."

"How...did you notice that?" Zuo Hemei asked, which was a disguised admission.

"Because your situation is so similar to mine, a Japanese who can't even speak Chinese well became a regular police officer, and in this era where smartphones are everywhere, it seems that you lack common sense about smartphones.

By the way, your current name should also be a pseudonym derived from your original name.

It's the same for me. My real name is Natsume Mika, and I took two characters from it and changed my pseudonym to Natsume Mika.

Let me get to know you again. Please give me more advice. "

As she said this, Natsume Mika reached out her hand from behind.

Zuo Hemei was a little dazed. The current situation was beyond her expectations, but it also made her understand why Natsume Mika spoke Neon language so authentically without even a hint of an accent.

"Sato Miwako, my name is Sato Miwako. Please...please give me your guidance."

Although it felt a little strange, Sato Miwako still shook hands with Natsume Mika.

The "Zuo" in the name "Zuo Hemei" is taken from the homophone of "Zao" in "Sato" in Chinese. The name "Hemei" is naturally the first two characters of "Meihezi" in the reverse order.

"Sato Miwako... this name sounds so familiar," Natsume Mika pondered for a while, and suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, "Oh, yes, it's the Sato Miwako who is known as the flower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department."

Miwako Sato herself felt a little strange and a little embarrassed when she heard this title. She said: "I don't have such a title. I am still studying in the police academy and I am not a formal police officer yet."

Hearing what Sato Miwako said, Natsume Mika also realized why she saw the childishness and innocence of a college student on the face of this flower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department when they first met.

So he is really still a student.

This also explains why Sato Miwako lacks common sense about smartphones.

Even though the current comic timeline of "Detective Conan" has reached Reiwa, everyone has a smartphone, and Conan, a guy whose age does not change, has changed his goal from Heisei Holmes to Reiwa Holmes.

However, the opening plot of "Detective Conan" does take place in the late 1990s, and Sato Miwako should have gone to police academy even earlier, probably in the late 1980s or early 1990s.

The popular communication tools of that period were probably mobile phones, pagers, and landline phones. The first generation of small portable phones first appeared on the Japanese market around 1989, and they were not fully popularized until after 1993.

Miwako Sato, who came from this time period, naturally would not know what a smartphone is, nor would she know what it should be used for.

"What you said is actually not rigorous. You are actually a formal police officer now." Natsume Mika corrected Sato Miwako's statement.

"..."

Miwako Sato didn't know what to say. Was this the time to expose the loopholes in her words?

"Then how do you prove that you are a time traveler?"

Sato Miwako turned around, grabbed Natsume Mika's wrist, and asked, taking the initiative.

"Indeed, I have to prove it. After all, I already know your secret. For the sake of our harmonious coexistence in the future, you should also know my secret."

Natsume Mika didn't think there was anything wrong with it. She broke free from Sato Miwako's hand, stood up, and wrapped the bath towel around herself.

She placed her hands on her waist and abdomen, with a distance between them. Her hands were not pressed against her body, but were at a distance from her body.

Maintaining this posture, Natsume Mika closed her eyes and concentrated.

Miwako Sato looked at Natsume Mika who closed her eyes and made strange gestures. She didn't know what Natsume Mika wanted to do, but she still waited quietly and did not disturb Natsume Mika.

She didn't have to wait too long. Phantoms began to flash around Natsume Mika's waist and abdomen. A device like a belt emerged from the phantom and appeared around the waist wrapped in a bath towel.

"What...what is this?"

Miwako Sato stared with her beautiful eyes, and the expression on her face was as if she had watched an unimaginable magic trick.

But she knew that what was happening before her eyes was not magic, because Natsume Mika was only wrapped in a bath towel and there was no place to hide such a large belt.

"To put it simply, you can think of this thing as a transformation belt," Natsume Mika explained.

She had no plan to continue transforming. It was too strange to transform in a bathhouse. Although summoning the prototype Agur in the bathhouse was also quite strange.

So far, she has summoned the Prototype Aguru more than once, but she has only used the belt to transform and fight monsters once, which was the time when she and her brother worked together to fight Gurongi on a high-rise building.

She had never thought that she would summon a prototype Agur in the bathhouse.

"Transformation belt?"

In the world that Sato Miwako used to live in, there were special effects dramas and the life-size special effects hero Kamen Rider, some of which were similar to the Kamen Rider in this world. She naturally knew what a transformation belt was.

The identity of her predecessor was even more exaggerated than Sato Miwako had imagined. Not only was he a time traveler, but he could also transform into a special effects hero like Kamen Rider.

"The Gurongi I told you about in the unit before, actually came from the same world as me."

Natsume Mika took the prototype Aguru back into her body, then returned to Sato Miwako's side, pulled a small stool over from the side, and sat down.

"Where did you put the belt?" asked Miwako Sato curiously.

"Oh, the belt is now in my body. Essentially, the belt is a biological armor conversion device. It is constantly transforming my body to make it more suitable for combat. The core part is probably in this position. If you are interested, you can touch it."

Natsume Mika grabbed Sato Miwako's hand and placed it on her waist and abdomen.

Miwako Sato couldn't feel anything. She could only feel a solid belly with some muscles. She had no idea that there was such a big belt hidden inside.

Perhaps realizing that her actions were inappropriate, Natsume Mika quickly let go of Sato Miwako's hand and apologized, "Sorry, I was a little too excited. Because I met a fellow time traveler. You know, I am usually very cautious in the company and always pay attention to hiding myself. There are many things I can't tell my colleagues. Now I have a time traveler as a colleague, this feeling is really good."

"I understand, I understand."

After hearing what Natsume Mika said, Sato Miwako also felt a little touched.

Although she has not been in this world for long, the feeling of loneliness, weirdness and discomfort has always lingered in her heart.

Coming to another world is different from going abroad.

You can always come back after going abroad, and maybe even meet someone from your hometown, but in this completely unfamiliar world, Sato Miwako feels like an abandoned ghost.

Fortunately, she really met a fellow villager like her, and this fellow villager could accompany her for a long time.

Somehow, Sato Miwako felt like crying.

After all, this is just Sato Miwako who has just entered the police academy, not the flower of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department who is gradually becoming strong and mature. She now has so many things she wants to talk to Natsume Mika, but she doesn't know what to say for a moment, and all the words are stuck in her throat.

Natsume Mika noticed Sato Miwako's emotions. She patted her on the back and said, "It's okay. If you want to cry, just cry. There's no one here anyway. When I first came to this world, I was also very emotional. I cried for a long time hiding under the quilt. Cry if you want to, but remember to rinse off the shower gel foam on your hands before rubbing your eyes."

After hearing what Natsume Mika said, Sato Miwako couldn't cry anymore. She looked at Natsume Mika with red eyes, and the complex emotions that had been brewing finally turned into a relieved smile.

Chapter 247 Author: I was wondering why I couldn’t write a good work, it turns out it’s because of this

Friendship between men can be established very easily, and so can friendship between women.

After coming out of the bathhouse, Sato Miwako and Natsume Mika were so close that it didn't seem like they were meeting for the first time.

But in general, people who meet for the first time will not make plans to take a bath together.

The two people who left the bathhouse still had some attractive pink on their skin, and a faint scent of shower gel and shampoo on their bodies.

Natsume Mika brought Sato Miwako to a coffee shop near the city bureau. She and Asu were both regular customers here, but Asu came more often.

This coffee shop combines the decoration styles of traditional coffee shops and modern milk tea shops, making this small coffee shop quite unique.

When I entered the store, there were basically no customers at this time. A young clerk with short hair was taking a nap at the front desk.

Hearing someone push the door open, the short-haired shop assistant raised her head, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and said, "Welcome."

"Excuse me." Natsume Mika said.

As a regular customer, she naturally knew the shop assistant, but she didn't know her name.

This is actually quite common. Some people have been eating at the breakfast shop at the entrance of the community for more than ten years and are very familiar with the owner, but they still don’t know the owner’s name.

This young shop assistant is not an employee; the shop is her and her sisters' own property.

Sato Miwako didn't know whether it was due to professional habit or because she had come to a strange world, but she was curious about everything. She looked around the store and then looked at the female clerk.

In the era when Sato Miwako lived, there were no such coffee shops, and she had never seen many of the equipment here, so naturally she looked at it for a while longer.

As for the young shop assistant, she had short, messy hair and looked very playful and cute, but she looked a little young. She seemed to be still in high school. I don't know if she is an adult or not.

"It's you, sister. What do you need?" The shop girl looked very tired, her eyes could hardly open, but she still smiled at Natsume Mika and Sato Miwako.

"Two large cups of lattes, plus a large portion of chocolate chip cookies." Natsume Mika placed her order without even looking at the menu. It was obvious from the way she ordered that she was a regular customer.

"Thank you for your patronage."

The shop assistant girl said something, and after selecting the drinks and snacks that Natsume Mika wanted on the computer, she shouted into the operation room, "Sister! The order for two cups of lattes and a chocolate chip cookie was ordered by a police sister who comes here frequently, the lively and cheerful one."

As soon as she finished shouting, a gentle female voice came from the operating room: "Got it."

Natsume Mika took out her mobile phone, called up the payment code, scanned it on the scanner, and the display in front of her showed that the payment was successful.

During this process, Sato Miwako was watching Natsume Mika's operations with curiosity.

After paying the bill, Natsume Mika asked, "You look so sleepy, are you still working part-time at night?"

"No, I quit my job at the internet cafe in the East University Town a long time ago, haha~~~~"

The waitress covered her mouth with her hand and yawned, then continued, "Sorry. I only worked in that job for a while before the Golden Week. I thought I could use the computer for free, but I ended up having to sit behind the bar all night."

The shop girl felt depressed when she talked about this. When she went to work, she happened to catch the free night market event held by the Internet cafe.

I wanted to get some free internet but failed, so I just sat there all night watching a group of people using the internet for free.

Maybe because it was free, you could see all kinds of people surfing the Internet in the Internet cafe during that time, including a super handsome guy with purple hair and an old grandfather with a big white beard.

Especially the old man with white beard, who left a deep impression on the shop assistant. During the free period of the night market, the old man came to surf the Internet every night, and only played "Hogwarts Legacy".

The old man was so old that the shop assistant was very scared, fearing that he would suddenly have an emergency while staying up all night.

"I stayed up late last night, so I'm a little sleepy today."

As she spoke, the shop assistant yawned again.

"Okay, take a nap. I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, Natsume Mika took Sato Miwako to find a seat and sit down.

She had actually asked the shop assistant before why she didn’t go to school since she was still in high school.

The young clerk in the store said that she knew everything they taught in school and it would be a waste of time for her to go there, so she might as well help out in the store.

Since they had their own plans, Natsume Mika didn't say much.

After sitting down, Sato Miwako asked, "Senior, when you just scanned that thing, did that count as payment?"

"Well, nowadays, mobile payment is basically used here. Let me think about how to explain it to you... Now there is an account of yours bound to your smartphone, which is similar to a passbook. Every time you buy something, the money is directly deducted from your account." Natsume Mika tried her best to explain in a way that Sato Miwako could understand.

Miwako Sato nodded as if she understood. Bank cards and credit cards had already appeared in her era. Although they were not yet popular, she also knew about credit card payment as a means of payment.

The smartphones in this world probably have the functions of a credit card incorporated into them. I don’t know if this idea is correct, but that’s how Miwako Sato understands it.

"By the way, Xiao Zuo. What year was it in your original world?" Natsume Mika asked in a low voice.

The two of them were currently located quite far from the front desk, and the shop assistant was resting on the table. No one should be able to hear her speaking so quietly, not to mention that she was communicating in Neon language.

"It was 1990, it was 1990 in our case, I was studying at the police academy, and I was years old that year," said Miwako Sato.

"You are so young." Natsume Mika sighed, "I was born in 1986, so I was only four years old in 1990. If I really want to calculate according to the year of birth, I should call you auntie, but I am years old now. Time travel is really magical."

"Yes, it's amazing." Miwako Sato also exclaimed.

Natsume Mika specifically asked about the time, mainly to confirm her own guess, and also because the timeline of "Detective Conan" was too confusing.
